Wilson AVP OPTX Replica Volleyball - Yellow/Black, Official Size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Wilson AVP OPTX volleyball is an excellent ball for beach and outdoor play. The bright Optic Flow design makes it very easy to track the ball in the air, even against the sky, and the Visual Spin Technology helps you see the spin much more clearly during serves and hits. The microfiber composite cover feels soft but still durable, giving great control when passing or setting. The ball keeps its shape well and has a consistent bounce thanks to the pressure-lock butyl bladder and high-quality construction. It feels balanced during play and flies predictably, which makes serving and spiking more accurate. Overall, this is one of the best volleyballs for serious beach players or anyone who wants a professional-level ball. It performs great, looks unique, and holds up well during regular outdoor games.

I love this ball. Its design is fresh and bright, and really easy to see in sunlight. It also feels good on the hands for setting and doesn't hurt during receives. Everyone ive played with prefer playing with it than any other ball. Shipping came faster than expected too. Thanks Wilson!

For years I've been plagued by the yellow and white Wilsons. I couldn't read the spin or the depth on any serve. I'd see every serve and get aced every time. Now I finally can see! My eyes have been cured and the prescription is more OPTX! Can't wait to finally be able to side out with this ball! Wilson has figured out the cheat code and it's the OPTX Game Ball! I went down to the MB yesterday to take measurements for my plaque on the pier! I can see my self playing another 30-40 years now! I wouldn't be surprised if the AVP switches back mid season after this domination. Thanks Wilson!

I've been loving the new fresh look! The AVP tour, and pro beach volley in general, is getting better and better each season so I think that its only fitting that this new and improved sport gets a new and improved ball... The visual spin technology actually makes a difference! You can detect the spin and trajectory better than before due to the updated graphics. Plus, you get the same touch that the last generation had. So don't worry, the float serve won't start dancing on you like that ball they use overseas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These balls are simply the best. Running a beach volleyball club we rely on teh best equipment and the OPTX balls are our favorite.

Best ball I've ever payed with! Only problem is it didn't keep its paint well. The ball looks worn out and and I haven't had it for very long. Not sure I would have spent the money I did for how quickly it seems to be warring out. I would recommend this ball, but I would wait for it to go on sale.

Love the way the ball passes and you can see it much better than the old one. The only thing I don't like is that the paint started to rub off and the lacing started showing through after just one day (4 matches) of play. Not sure I would've spent so much money if I would've known this was going to happen

I have only had this ball for a month and take great care of it but the "microfiber composite leather cover" is already peeling off. The ball has a plastic feel to it as well. I definitely prefer the previous design.

purchased directly from walmart.com (not 3P) the avp optx vball. package arrived and see it is the replica ball in the official box. returning to store atm so just beware if you order it, even from walmart, its actually the right one and not the "replica".

There seems to be a new batch of the Optx balls that are clearly smaller. What is the correct circumference of the ball? The old Official Game ball I have is 27" in circumference while my brand new Optx ball is 26 and 1/16". Meanwhile other Optx balls out there that are a few months older are closer to 27" and no one is saying those were small when they were brand new. I can't seem to find much info on this online and it's a pretty big deal. You can't just throw it into your ball bag with the others and not notice while playing...
